Chapter 165 Shark Cutting?So early?

After this battle, the Heat have ushered in three consecutive victories.

But Riley wasn't satisfied.

In the third game, the Heat exposed many problems.

There are no qualified substitutes inside.

Number one has a hole.

The depth of the bench is not as good as last season.

The chemistry between O'Neal, Wade, and Li Lei was not as good as expected.

……

Of course, this is all understandable.

During the offseason, the Heat's lineup has undergone huge changes, almost half of the players have been replaced.

It can be said that the current Heat team is a brand new team that needs to be adjusted, and it takes time to adjust.

There is no rush for this kind of thing.

During the team's training, Riley began to try various combinations to maximize the chemical reaction between the players.

Of course, these all need to be verified by the competition.

11 month 7 day.

The Heat came to Washington for their second game against the Wizards.

The day before the game, the Heat opened the training facility to allow media interviews.

Li Lei, who just beat the Wizards, became the focus of the media.

This is already Li Lei's second lore in the NBA.

(The first time was the lore of the Pistons last season.)
In addition to the Olympic lore dream team, Li Lei has already had three lore experience in his career.

Some fans commented: Stone, he has a heart of stone!
The previous questions and answers were relatively smooth.

But there was a problem later, which caught Li Lei's attention.

"Stone, who is the boss of the Heat?"

Li Lei looked at the interview badge of the beautiful reporter who asked the question.

Sure enough, it is FOX who likes to make things happen again.

Li Lei said without hesitation: "Mr. Riley! You know, if we dare to be disobedient, that guy will drive us out of the American Airlines Center arena the next day. From top to bottom in Miami, no one is not afraid of him. "

The reporters all laughed.

Sure enough, it was Li Lei, humorous, yet impeccable, mature and frightening.

But everyone knows that this is not what the female reporter wants to ask.

Sure enough, the female reporter asked again: "You know, I mean, among the players. Not including Mr. Riley."

In an instant, the entire training hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Li Lei.

This is actually a very simple question.

But the problem is that Li Lei was thinking and didn't answer right away.

O'Neill gradually frowned.

Riley's complexion was also a little bad.

The female reporter of FOX laughed.

Li Lei is mature?

of course.

But when faced with this question, he actually hesitated. What did this mean? He was not convinced by O'Neill.

Big news!
"Second Kobe Bryant!"

"Heat locker room battle!"

"O'Neill, the man who brings disputes!"

……

In an instant, the female reporter thought of countless eye-catching headlines.

Finally, Li Lei spoke: "Shaq! There is no doubt that it is Shaq!"

The female reporter smiled: "Since there is no doubt, why did you hesitate just now?"

Li Lei looked at the female reporter, his eyes suddenly became contemptuous, and the female reporter who was originally complacent began to feel puzzled.

Just when the female reporter suspected that she had said something wrong, Li Lei said: "I just can't figure it out. Why do you ask such an obvious thing? Anyone who has watched the Heat's game should know the importance of Shaq. You don't even I don't know this, didn't I do my homework in advance? Ma'am, your work attitude is not good!"

In an instant, the female reporter blushed.

"Bastard! Damn guy."

The female reporter cursed inwardly.

She understood that Li Lei was playing tricks on her on purpose.

But she was the one who caused trouble first, no wonder others.

The female reporter felt ashamed and wanted to escape.

At this moment, Li Lei changed his voice: "Ma'am, would you like to meet the boss of the Heat team? He has no resistance to beautiful women. As long as you want, he will even tell you what he ate last night."

"Okay, okay."

The female reporter got the steps, so how could she not agree.

Later, Li Lei brought the female reporter to O'Neill.

O'Neal hugged Li Lei directly, and almost strangled Li Lei to death.

"Damn it, Shaq! Strangled me, but no one made room for you."

Li Lei cried out strangely.

O'Neill became more and more vigorous: "Without you, there is Damon and Eddie."

O'Neill screamed and made faces, making the reporters laugh.

Suddenly, Li Lei broke free from O'Neill's arms, attacked O'Neill's ass, turned and ran.

"Come and chase me!"

While running, Li Lei provoked O'Neill.

"Little bastard, when I catch up with you, I will definitely kick your ass!"

O'Neill gave a strange cry and chased after him wildly.

The two fought for a while and broke up the training hall.

Very unhappy.

Do you think there is really a conflict between these two people?
Do you believe it?
Soon, Dobby Damon also joined in the chase, and the rest joined in one by one, having a great time.

This is the real team atmosphere of the Heat, impeccable.

Pat Riley stood courtside, smiling broadly.

……

The Wizards are still the same lineup as before:
Haywood, Jamison, Hayes, Hughes, Arenas.

The Heat's roster has been fine-tuned:
O'Neal, Haslem, Li Lei, Jones, Wade.

Damon was put on the bench, Jones Sr. returned to the starting lineup, and Wade played the first position like last season.

Drip!

Game start.

O'Neal took the jump ball.

Wade advances to the frontcourt and hangs to O'Neal inside.

The Heat's strategy is to use O'Neal's powerful low-post singles ability at the beginning.

For the Wizards, Haywood is still single-handedly defending against O'Neal.

In the last game, the Wizards lost, but it does not mean that coach Eddie Jordan's wheel battle tactics failed.

On the contrary, the ploy worked well.

O'Neal didn't play well in the last game.

Heywood and Kwame Brown still caused him a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for Li Lei's superb state, the Wizards would have a high probability of winning.

O'Neill saw Heywood's single defense, and directly exerted force, slammed Heywood away, and dunked heavily with both hands.

boom!
2: 0.

The Heat go first.

Pat Riley frowned.

Before this game, he told O'Neal that using more technology and less body can save some energy.

Don't look at Haywood strong, but he is slow.

If O'Neal is willing to use his footwork, it is not a problem at all to pass Haywood with his skills and flexibility.

However, this guy O'Neal didn't listen at all!
"This guy is disobedient!"

Riley was a little dissatisfied.

On the contrary, Coach Jordan was very happy.

There is also a problem with his wheel battle tactics, that is, O'Neal does not take the bait.

But now, O'Neal took the initiative to bite the hook.

Then, the Wizards have hope of winning.

Wizards attack.

Hughes made a mid-range shot against the old Jones' defense, and the basketball hit the basket.

2: 2.

Subsequently, O'Neal continued to force Haywood and scored another 2 points.

4: 2.

The Heat scored, but coach Jordan on the opposite side smiled even more.

Wizards attack.

Arenas shot missed under Wade's interference.

Bang!

Wade is excellent both offensively and defensively, and his defensive ability is several levels better than Damon's, which puts a lot of pressure on Arenas' defense.

In this regard, Coach Jordan does not care.

All he cares about is his own "wheel battle" tactics.

As long as O'Neill is worn down, this difference is not a big deal.

But soon, Coach Jordan couldn't laugh anymore.

When O'Neal stormed Haywood for the third time, Haywood hugged O'Neal directly.

Drip!

foul.

"Shark chopping? So early?"

Riley thought so.

"Shark chopping?"

Coach Jordan was even more confused, he didn't arrange shark-killing tactics.

At this moment, Haywood just caught the ball that O'Neal missed and smashed it hard.

Drip!

The referee's whistle blew again.

This time it was a technical foul.

T!

Haywood had obvious acts of violence that should not have occurred in the game.

Within three seconds, Heywood was called for two consecutive fouls.

Even so, Haywood continued to rant and complain.

Jamison and Hayes hurriedly held Heywood, preventing him from continuing to do things.

They saw it, where is this a hacking shark?This is how Haywood was blown away by O'Neill, and his mentality collapsed.

Coach Jordan shook his head in annoyance.

O'Neal played like this, two consecutive games, who can stand it?

Besides, Heywood's temper has never been bad, and it is rare to be able to bear it until now.

Heywood, who fouled twice, could only end up.

And this is not a matter of resting for a quarter, Haywood will not even think about playing tonight.

Let him play again, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, and Coach Jordan dare not bet.

Kwame Brown came off the bench.

The Heat get a free throw.

In addition, for free throws for technical fouls, coaches can assign players to make free throws.

Riley directly ordered Li Lei.

Li Lei made a steady free throw.

5: 2.

After the free throw, the Heat are still attacking.
